“Cuties”
A hand-drawn sequential telling of human history in all its horror and glory, culminating in our next evolutionary leap. Cuties explores the elusive beauty in how we as a species continue forward
BFI & Film Hub North 2021.
A cute foil for humanity acting as an exploration of free-will and ‘space time’,
creating ambiguity around the concept of individualism by showing all of humanity’s
cataclysms and culls being played along one linear timeline - inspired partly by the
Bayeux Tapestry. ‘Cuties’ asks whether we as a species are doomed to repeat the same violent cycles of decimation and rebirth within our societies at large - as history would seem to indicate. Is annihilation woven into the fabric of our DNA? Or will our next evolutionary leap transcend humanity into a collective consciousness; a world-wide singularity.
For now, you can witness countless atrocities committed by a homogenised (and rather
cute) human that asks the question, are we all one entity experiencing life subjectively and if so, why are we so cruel to ourselves?
